First impressions are that Patrick has a very nice bit of software in the new ALE400 mode on
MultiPSK. This is another step down the road to a strong ARQ mode, and It would be great to see a number of people Download and experiment with it. It can be found at: http://f6cte.free.fr/MULTIPSK_TEST_28_10_2007.ZIP I disagree with Bonnie and think that any experiments with the mode should be done on The same ALE frequencies as are currently used since it is an opportunity to skip back and forth to compare performance. There is nothing to be gained by moving off to some obscure frequency since these Would not be monitored on a regular basis. By splintering the ALE frequencies it Would discourage use of anything other than PCALE on 14109.5. Additionally , this would create sounding tones on a number of other frequencies Which are or could be used for other modes. Since there is not a large active ALE community ( emphasis on ACTIVE) all can, and should be able survive on the current ALE frequencies. John VE5MU
